The County Mayo property has been sold by DNG Cyril Burke after being placed on the market in August
DNG Cyril Burke confirmed the sale of the property in Sonnagh, Charlestown, describing it as a rare blend of “musical folklore, family heritage, and rural tranquillity in equal measure.”
Known locally as “A True Oasis,” the renovated two-bedroom cottage served as a childhood haven for the Gallagher brothers, who spent many summers there.
The pair have often spoken fondly of their Mayo roots, and locals recall their regular visits up until their grandmother’s passing in 2000.
The cottage was put on the market in August with an asking price of €350,000.

Set on six acres through which the Sonnagh River winds, the property offers approximately 900 sq ft of living space, including a master bedroom with ensuite, a second double bedroom, a modern family shower room, and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.
Located just 10km from Ireland West Airport Knock, and within walking distance of Charlestown, the home attracted interest not only because of its musical history but also for its peaceful, scenic setting.
DNG says the home and its grounds have been meticulously maintained, offering privacy, natural beauty, and a sense of retreat that is increasingly rare.

Charlestown residents, proud of their community’s link to Oasis, say they would welcome a return visit from the brothers, while fans continue to travel to Mayo hoping to experience a piece of the band’s history.
Hopes were raised in August, when the duo performed in Dublin as part of their world tour, that they might make a stop in the east Mayo town, but no sightings were ever reported.

It is believed that the traditional music of Charlestown, regularly heard in lively sessions across the town, left an early impression on the young Gallagher brothers as they forged what would become their unmistakable sound.
The sale comes as Oasis wrapped up the final show of their 41-date world tour in São Paulo, Brazil, on Sunday, November 23.

Joking to the 80,000-strong crowd, he asked, “Is anyone here from Charlestown?” before adding, “There’s only about five people there, you can’t all be from there.”
DNG Cyril Burke extended warm congratulations to the new owners, who now hold not just a charming countryside residence, but a small but meaningful chapter of Irish music heritage.
Mr Cyril Burke previously described the residence as a fabulous property that “has a wonderful history where the Gallagher brothers of Oasis fame enjoyed a welcoming childhood with their family in the past, which they have never failed to highlight”.

Oasis have announced they will now step back from the limelight.
In a recent Instagram post, the band reflected on their global tour and referenced their Croke Park shows, writing: “‘The most damaging pop cultural force in recent British history’ found its way into the hearts and minds of a new generation,
“From Gallagher Hill to the River Plate, from Croke Park on the banks of the Royal Canal to the City of Angels, the love, joy, tears and euphoria will never be forgotten,
“There will now be a pause for a period of reflection.”
